1. This is actually a collision between a Mini Cooper and a pickup truck, released in 1965 and called the Austin Mini Pickup. This heavily customized version has been lovingly created by veteran master of customization, Englishman Paul Ires. Everything on this pickup screams “outrageous”, right down to the fine detailing in the paint job. This truly is a rolling work of art.

2. The original Deora was part of the Hot Wheels line of pickup trucks. Created in 1968, it was such a hit that a die-cast scaled-down version was released as a model you could play with in the living room. But in 2000, the Deora II (shown here) was built as an homage to the original ’68 Deora, the updated die-cast version of which is still a popular seller since its release in 2003.

3. Manufactured by Navistar, the International CXT (Commercial Extreme Truck) is the largest pickup track on the market. Priced at around $100,000, the CXT will get 8-10 mpg and can tow up to 20 tons.

4. Japanese heavy truck manufacturer Isuzu is partly responsible for this lengthy pickup, the rest of the blame lies with Steve Montgomery, a man from Texas. He took an ’89 Isuzu pickup and heavily customized it into this 8-wheeling monster. Montgomery claims that he started the project in order to make “a truck that stands out”. I, for one, think that he’s achieved this.

5. The Yellow Pickup Truck manufactured by the experts of their trade, Little Tikes, is one heck of a beast. Retailing at roughly $140, weighing 15kg, this is the most outrageous pickup of the lot. This is certain to turn heads whenever you take it out on the open road, and is a certifiable winner in terms of fuel consumption and eco-friendliness. I suppose the only downside would be the inability of the pickup to tow anything weighing more than a small child, but when compared against the rest of the statistics, it seems a small compromise.
